United States Census

The record of the population census from 1790 to 1930. Scanned from microfilm from the collections of the Allen County Public Library and originally from the United States National Archives Record Administration.

As of the launch there were 13,004,791 page images. We intend to add further census years when they become available from NARA, which delays their release by 70 years, we understand, as a privacy protection.
